Jovibarba ALLIONII .............. PRICE 1@ $4.50

A tiny mounding species we acquired from Gwen, globular rosettes, S.W. Alps.

 

Jovibarba heuffelii .......... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A strange Hen and Chick, it multiplies, albeit rather slowly, by splitting the huge rosettes in half or spawning a new rosette within the existing one, refined symmetrical rosettes; blossoms are light yellow.

 

Juncus effusus spiralis ... Price   $8.00

Don’t get screwed buying inferior Rushes, our dwarfs will give you a rush to remember. Seed grown but all are heavily screwed, I’m talking seriously twisted, some almost like green slinky’s. To be really happy they need a wet spot, (KY jelly just won’t do).

 

Jurinea cadmica ex jurasek PRICE 1@ $6.50

A rather unusual member of the Asteracaea, it is taxonomically somewhere between Saussurea and Cirsium with flat dandelion like rosettes of leaves and big stemless thistle-like heads of flowers, its quite showy but a trifle too unrefined to suit me.

 

Karwinskia sp..................... see shrubs

 

Kalimeris yomena 'Fuji snow’ (Variegata)     PRICE 1@ $6.50

An unusual aster relative with excellent variegated foliage, and clouds of lavender tinged white flowers in fall atop 18” stems; its one of the better new plants we have seen lately.

 

Keiskeia japonica v hondoensis Price   $12.00

Dick brought us this, an obscure woodland perennial from Japan; I think he got it from Yinger. It is hardy with 2-3’ stalks of showy white flowers, becoming shrub like with age.

 

kirengeshoma palmata ...... Price   $8.00

3' fall flowering Saxifrage relative, with large yellow bell-shaped flowers, a curious and magnificent Japanese oddity.

 

Knautia dipsacifolia ....... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Typical purplish Scabiosa flowers above clumps of teasel-like foliage, it is easy and virtually unknown in gardens.

 

Knautia macedonica 'Mars Midget' Price   $8.00

Men are from Mars women are from Venus and this thing is from Germany, an intriguing but meaningless introduction. 'Mars Midget' is a cute dwarf Knautia developed by Jelitto that flowers for a long period and thrives in a sunny dry spot.

 

Knautia macedonica 'Melton Pastels'             Price   $8.00

As above but in an exciting range of pastel colors, look for these to become widespread in garden centers in the future, this strain has huge commercial potential.

 

Kniphofia brachystacha PRICE 1@ $6.50

New to us these have not flowered nor are they listed in any of my references.

 

Kniphofia citrina ................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Like a smaller uvaria with yellowish green flowers, these may possibly be hybrids.

 

Kniphofia foliosa .............. PRICE 1@ $8.00

No data, we have had this around the nursery for years and I believe it originated as a bonus packet from Archibalds; it is a medium sized species native to Ethiopia.

 

Kniphofia galpinii hyb . PRICE 1@ $12.00

Outstanding fall blooming species, this is a personal favorite, Charlesworth’s too, we've been slowly building enough stock to offer it in the catalog.

 

Kniphofia hirsuta 'Fire Dance' PRICE 1@ $8.00

A flaming new dwarf poker brilliant red shading to yellow on compact plants, this is gaudy as hell.

 

Kniphofia linearis ........... PRICE 1@ $12.00

Also new, these have not flowered nor are they listed in any of my references although Kniphofia linearifolia is mentioned.

 

Kniphofia northiae ex Archibald PRICE 1@ $12.00

A rather broad-leaved evergreen species with coral and cream squatty pokers atop meter high stems, we are growing several clones from Archibald’s seed.

 

Kniphofia uvaria border BALLET PRICE 1@ $6.50

Our selection from the best colors including many pastels that won't clash with everything else, by far the best hybrid Kniphofia we have ever offered. 

 

Kniphofia uvaria grandiflora mix (praecox)         PRICE 1@ $6.50

Very large flower scapes mostly in hot orange shades. This is an excellent poker, more fun then Texas hold’em, and safer than poking streetwalkers.

 

Kosteletzkya virginica Pink PRICE 1@ $6.50

Salt Marsh Mallow not to be confused with salted marshmallows a huge thing with pink mallow flowers; it likes it wet and is native to the southeastern United States.

 

Lamiastrum galeobdelon herman's pride    PRICE 1@ $8.00

Bet you can’t say galeobdelon three times fast Herman could and he was proud, this tongue twister is an excellent mat forming perennial for shade, the narrow toothed leaves are heavily spotted and streaked with silver, verticillasters of yellow flowers speckled with brown are a nice added touch but it is the foliage that is the star here.

 

Lamium maculatum 'Anne Greenway' PRICE 1@ $8.00

Chartreuse foliage marked by a silvery splotch in the center and spikes of violet flowers in early summer.

 

Lamium maculatum 'Beacon Silver' Price   $8.00

If your motto is a good nettle is a dead nettle then do we have a deal for you, an excellent silver foliaged Dead Nettle with attractive purple flowers, and best of all no stinging hairs. Which is great, unless you happen to be into that whole mediaeval masochistic stinging nettle breast enlargement thing, but I digress, this is a nice little ground cover for shade that will harm no one except of course the tortoise shell larva who need the real thing or they will starve.

 

Lamium maculatum 'Purple Dragon' Price   $8.00

Much like the above but with dark purple flowers.

 

Lamium orvala .......................... Price   $12.00

Orvala is cool with bold foliage and fantastic flowers, it has been very slow to get going for us although Dick’s plants have clumped up nicely, the only possible complaint is that the 4.5cm long flowers are a bit obscured by the foliage.

 

Lampranthus COPIOSUS . PRICE 1@ $6.50

South African mesemb, 1" pink flowers open day and night, copiosus and haworthii are supposed to be fairly hardy, both have frozen solid here with no harm, winters if dry. 

 

Lampranthus HAWORTHII PRICE 1@ $6.50

Dense light gray pruniose cylindrical leaves; large purplish flowers to 7cm across.

 

Lancea tibetica .................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A beautiful tufted plant closely related to Mazus, this little Scroph is nearly monotypic, only two species occur, and are differentiated from Mazus by the globular seed pod which does not split when ripe. Mojmir found it growing near water at 4500m in the Ladakh range, flowers are two lipped, bright blue to mauve purple, and borne horizontally just above the creeping mats of foliage.

 

Laserpitium gallicum ..... PRICE 1@ $6.50

What kind of laser does it take to pit gallium? Does it require the SLAC free electron super laser, I don’t think so, gallium is so soft it tends to melt in your hand and releases hydrogen when mixed with aluminum and dunked in water. I know I should say something cool about the plant, but how do you top wiggler magnets on a linac or exploding aluminum donuts?

 

Laserpitium latifolium.. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Telefragged every time you walk through your perennial border? Perhaps this will help its a killer umbel if ever there was one.

 

Laserpitium siler ............... PRICE 1@ $6.50

What do you get when you shoot a ruby laser at a hardened missile silo? Laserpitium silo, changing to a deuterium-fluoride laser results in lasermeltium silo, but I digress we’re talking plants here not directed energy weapons and Mach 16 magneto hydrodynamic enhanced scramjets. But hey, this is a big border perennial thing and fairly kick-ass in its own right- think of it as a photosynthetic Death Star.

 

Lathyrus niger .................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Racemes dark violet flowers on compact plants that seldom exceed 80cm this is the famous black pea of the Caucasus.

 

Lathyrus vernus ................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Lovely non-twining bushlet, 12" high, spring blooming, long-lived, pink flowers, we never seem to have enough.

 

Lathyrus vernus alboroseus PRICE 1@ $6.50

The pink and white bicolored form, vernus is a well-behaved garden plant that is indispensable, Pauline Banyai used to grow it with her Hosta, and people still comment on how nice it looked.

 

Laurentia fluviatialis  . PRICE 1@ $5.50

A cute little blue flowered carpeter that Dick assumed wasn't hardy until he saw it in Toronto.

 

Lavandula angustifolia hidcote superior             PRICE 1@ $8.00

A reselection of the old fashioned Hidcote blue, more compact and uniform than the original and very free flowering.

 

Lavandula dentata ‘john's variegated’         PRICE 1@ $6.50

A variegated French lavender from H&H free blooming with a splashy unstable variegation, John calls it barely frost hardy. I’d call it tender but it makes a good topiary.

 

Lavandula 'Pastor's Pride' PRICE 1@ $6.50

Dark flowers on long stems and little tendency to melt; John at H&H considers it one of the very best, but really, a dark lavender, doesn’t ‘Demon’s Bride’ have a better ring to it.

 

Leontopodium palibinianum PRICE 1@ $6.50

Native to North Asia and pretty much the same as alpinum, I agree with Farrer that they hardly deserve the hype however they are great as food plant for painted lady butterflies larva that adore them.

 

Lepidium nanum ..................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Dwight Ripley ranked this with Dionysia, the ultimate Draba, and much easier than the experts would lead you to believe, this is the tightest of the numerous clones we grow.

 

Leptinella squalida 'Platt's Black' PRICE 1@ $6.50

A cute little creeper from New Zealand with startling black foliage that is a bit reminiscent of some of the Cotula species, this little composite is a great foliage accent between stones, flowers are nothing to write home about but the plant is cool. Like most New Zealanders, it needs some protection here.

 

Leptinella perpusilla .. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A matformer brigitta got from Joy creek; this has been a cotula in the past, it had enough cute appeal for brigitta to pluck it from the sales bench.

 

Leptodactylon pungens PRICE 1@ $8.00

Related to the Western Phloxes, and like them looking half dead a good part of the time, the 4” spiny mats are beautiful with new spring growth and intensely sweet scented creamy phlox like flowers tinted rose violet on the outside, a compact form Bradshaw collected at 7200’ in Emery co Utah.

 

Leptodactylon watsonii Ex ALPLAINS PRICE 1@ $8.00

Bradshaw’s collections from Custer co. ID at 6600’ where it cascades its large creamy blossoms over the rocky limestone ledges in a mass of twiggy spiny foliage; for a dry loving western phlox relative these have proven rather easy top please.

 

Lesquerella ovalifolia PRICE 1@ $5.50

A long lives species from the shales of Fremont Co. CO at 4800’; it becomes a gnarled bonsai like shrublet with age sporting intensely silvered foliage and loose racemes of yellow flowers.

 

Leucosceptrum stellipillum PRICE 1@ $15.00

A Japanese woodland mint with broad bold foliage and fat spikes of lavender pink flowers in late summer into fall, this is rarely seen in American gardens.

 

LEWISIA columbiana rupicola PRICE 1@ $6.50

Airy baby's breath sprays of tiny pink flowers, narrow leaved rosettes, a demure and charming species, too seldom seen in cultivation.

 

LEWISIA columbiana columbiana PRICE 1@ $6.50

A Ratko collection from 6,000’ in the Entiat Mts., we have selected a free blooming plant with heavily branched inflorescences bearing numerous small violet veined rose flowers.

 

Lewisia columbiana WALAWALENSIS PRICE 1@ $6.50

One of my favorite Lewisias with clusters of narrow-leaved rosettes and airy sprays of small flowers; clonally propagated from a select form.

 

Lewisia cotyledon var. howellii PRICE 1@ $8.00

A diminutive version of cotyledon, with crinkly margined rosettes often less than 2” across, these are from a high altitude collection by Ratko in the Klamath Range.

 

Lewisia cotyledon hyb. praline PRICE 1@ $6.50

A strain that throws a fair percentage of doubles, no guarantees, “ya pays your money and takes your chances”.

 

Lewisia cotyledon hyb. regenbogen    PRICE 1@ $6.50

A nice color mix from Germany that rivals the Ashwood stuff.

 

Lewisia cotyledon Sunset PRICE 1@ $6.50

The legendary strain from drakes, we find sunset to be one of the most permanent with less tendency to go monocarp than some of the newer strains.

 

Lewisia longipetala hyb 'Little Peach'          PRICE 1@ $6.50

An interesting cross between L. longipetala and L. cotyledon with longipetala as the seed parent, which came to us from Drakes in Scotland, plants are freely repeat blooming and long lived, with up to 100 peach colored inch wide upward facing flowers on short scapes. It is obviously intermediate between the two parents. 

 

Lewisia hyb 'Little Plum' PRICE 1@ $6.50

An interesting cross between L. longipetala and L. cotyledon with longipetala as the seed parent, which came to us from drakes in Scotland, plants are very freely repeat blooming and long lived, with plum colored flowers on short scapes, it’s obviously intermediate between the two parents. 

 

Lewisia pygmaea .................. PRICE 1@ $5.50

An easy deciduous species, pygmaea seeds around in the garden, with stems of small pink flowers encircling the tuft of fleshy leaves.

 

Lewisia rediviva ................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Bitterroot, show off your good taste by plunking one of these in a trough not serving it up for dinner, as far as eating goes it’s only a step above that thing the Eskimo’s do with whole Puffins stuffed feathers and all along with their eggs in a seal skin and buried to age for several months, but I digress, rediviva has immense diaphanous white flowers almost cactus like from a distance seeming to spring directly from the ground. It’s summer dormant but we do rather well with it, visitors may remember it in our sand beds.

 

Lewisia hyb. 'George Henley' PRICE 1@ $6.50

These came from John at H&H, supposedly a hybrid between columbiana and cotyledon; it is quite attractive and clearly a hybrid, however I see little columbiana influence.

 

Lewisia  'Norma Jean' ....... PRICE 1@ $6.50

This looks to be a cross between cotyledon and columbiana, rosettes are large and cotyledon like with the airy sprays of smaller flowers typical of columbiana, of course I’m just guessing, actually I’m too lazy to dig through the old Mt Tahoma catalogs and see what Rick has to say. We do these from cuttings so plants are clonal.

 

Liatris callolepsis Ex Hammer PRICE 1@ $6.50

Like a dwarf spicata, callolepsis is probably the plant that Kobold was developed from, compact and showy it is a good garden plant.

 

Liatris elegans .................... PRICE 1@ $8.00

A graceful species from the Southeastern U.S. with pinkish purple flowers on 60cm scapes arising form a corm-like rootstock, its generally hardy here but we have lost it in hard winters.

 

Liatris aff. ligulistylis/scariosa monarch strain     PRICE 1@ $6.50

Our most amazing new discovery, Dr. Wagner keyed these to ligulistylis but Hammer says they are closer to scariosa, whatever the name they are unique; they apparently emit Monarch Butterfly pheromone. Monarchs swarm to it ignoring other Liatris species just a few feet away. They follow customers to their cars and are so distracted that they can be picked up with your fingers. It is absolutely the coolest thing you have ever seen. Wagner found an orchid that did the same thing but as far as we know this has never been reported for Liatris. We are offering seedlings from our original plants that the Monarchs pollinated and they should retain their attraction, the butterflies were very selective. They are also very slow growing for a Liatris, and much loved by thrips as well as Monarchs, be careful not to spray the thrips and kill the Monarchs, try bio-control. 

 

Liatris pycnostachya Ex Hammer PRICE 1@ $6.50

Bright purple flowers in dense 4' spikes; thrives on dry soils, great cut flower, easy. This is different from the plant that is widespread in the trade under this name; I trust these to be the true species.

 

Liatris pycnostachya alba Ex Hammer PRICE 1@ $6.50

White form of the above.

 

Liatris spicata KOBOLD .. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Pinkish purple spikes open from the top down, extremely popular cut flowers, equally indispensable in the garden; this is the best dwarf cultivar.  

 

Ligularia dentata 'Brit-Marie Crawford'      PRICE 1@ $19.00

Supposedly, this has the darkest leaves of all, but we have never planted it side by side with the others and foliage color is influenced by many factors but as we grow it is black.

 

Ligularia (Farfugium) japonicum 'Aureomaculata'      Price   $8.00

Ligularia if you prefer although Farfugium has a nice ring to it, big green leaves with odd almost sickly yellow spots, its hardier than the literature would lead you to believe.

 

Ligularia (Farfugium) japonicum cristata PRICE 1@ $8.00

As above but with wavy piecrust margins on the leaves and no spots, Farfugiums need it wet to succeed.

 

Ligularia x palmataloba PRICE 1@ $15.00

Ligularia dentata crossed to L. japonica, this is intermediate between the parents; corymbs of orangish yellow daisies and bold palmately lobed orbicular leaves, it needs a wet spot or it will wilt continuously.

 

Ligularia stenocephala 'The Rocket' PRICE 1@ $15.00

The most widely grown species with big spires of yellow flowers to 180cm tall, it’s similar to przwalskyi but without the toothing in the leaves.

 

Limonium DICTIOCLADUM .. PRICE 1@ $6.50

Can't remember where this is from, maybe the Czechs, a small plant a bit like cosyrense.

 

Limonium minutum .............. PRICE 1@ $6.50

A densely tufted little statice native to the limestone sea cliffs of Southeastern France with cushion like masses of closely packed tiny rosettes sprouting from a woody rootstock and sending up numerous short spikes of violet statice flowers.

 

Linaria purpurea ................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

A tall plant with glaucous leaves and racemes of tiny purple snapdragon flowers, from a distance, it has an almost heather like appearance.

 

Linum capitatum .................. PRICE 1@ $6.50

An easy dwarf flax, similar to compact forms of flavum but the heads of 1" yellow flowers are usually a bit tighter.

 

Linum perenne ssp lewisii PRICE 1@ $6.50

A little dwarf blue flax from the Rockies, like a dwarf perenne - full sized blue flowers with a yellow eye, collected from Clay Butte, in the Beartooth at 10,100'.

 

Linum tauricum ..................... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A yellow flowered species native to the Caucasus and Turkey, it is essentially a dwarfer version of flavum with good yellow flowers.

 

Linum tenuifolium ............. PRICE 1@ $6.50

From a Jurasek collection a tufted plant with pale pink to nearly white flowers, there is an excellent picture in the ags Encyclopedia.

 

Liriope muscari ‘Pee Dee Ingot’ PRICE 1@ $8.00

Please no peeing on dee ingot it will tarnish the gold

 

Liriope muscari ‘Okina’ ... PRICE 1@ $8.00

Frosted Monkey Grass, the broad leaves are more reminiscent of Ophiopogon and emerge pure white (vanilla frosting?) and develop green tips as they age flowers are typical purple spikes.

 

Lithodora diffusa Grace Ward PRICE 1@ $6.50

Cascading over the side of a trough, it produces a waterfall of the most beautiful cerulean flowers, long amongst the most popular rock garden plants, lime free soil and full sun are best, it is hardier than often reported and looks great with Erica.

 

Lithodora diffusa heavenly BLUE PRICE 1@ $6.50

Dylan brought us the other of the widely grown clones to round out our list, Similar to the above with Gentian blue flowers a little lighter in shade than Grace Ward, both need acid soil for best color.

 

Lithodora hispidula ........ PRICE 1@ $8.00

A little boraginaceous shrublet native to Turkey and Crete, flowers open white than age pink through blue to blue-violet.

 

Lithodora oleifolia ......... PRICE 1@ $6.50

This is probably the hardiest of the genus, native to only one small area in the Eastern Pyrenees, it spreads by underground stolons, but hardly could be considered a weed; the 10-15cm flower stems bear pink flowers that age to purplish blue.  

 

Lithodora zahnii.................. PRICE 1@ $8.00

A rare species restricted to a small area of Greece in the wild. 18" evergreen shrublet with long narrow leaves and brilliant sky blue flowers, it needs some protection here.

 

Lobelia cardinale Arrowhead Form PRICE 1@ $6.50

A parent of many of the hybrids this is the pure species with no fulgens mixed in, Plants under this name often are contaminated by fulgens, telltale signs are reddish foliage and lack of hardiness, the pure species is hardy well into northern Canada, here it’s brilliant scarlet flowers light up the banks of the red cedar river sowing profusely on the disturbed floodplain these are the real deal from our native colony.

 

Lobelia cardinale .............. PRICE 1@ $6.50

As above but from commercial seed sources they seem fulgens free.

 

Lobelia CHINENSIS ............... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A creeping species from H&H Botanicals, white flowers, very cute and less than 1" high, supposedly hardy; it is used medicinally and is a very desirable ornamental.

 

Lobelia siphilitica blaue auslese PRICE 1@ $5.50

As a syphilis cure its bogus, nor are you likely to get a good buzz smoking it, but for months of unbeatable blue color this select form from Germany is unbeatable, it will self sow like crazy on a wet site and comes true from seed.

 

Hybrid Lobelias

The following are the result of crosses between cardinalis, siphilitica, and fulgens and are better garden plants than either parent. The Fan’s which are from Benary in Germany mostly are tetraploid and very large flowering and everblooming. Thurman Maness has done some fantastic work in the genus. Hardy, to zone 3, they root easily from cuttings even in water on the windowsill.

 

Lobelia speciosa 'La Fresco' PRICE 1@ $6.50

A dark purple with very congested heads and a tendency to fasciate, which the flower arrangers admittedly love, however it is often indicative of virus and in my experience Lobelias are a magnet for virus and should probably be indexed before being tissue cultured. We have pitched a number of interesting streaky variegates which were apparently viral in origin.

 

Lobelia speciosa 'Ruby Slippers' PRICE 1@ $6.50

Back by popular demand, Thurman’s ruby red is always a sellout.

 

Lobelia speciosa 'Sparkle Devine' PRICE 1@ $6.50

Thurman’s classic, dynamite with a laser beam, it’s a killer tetraploid lobelia, exotic dark magenta flowers, all the more after Tony Avent told us the story of its origins, you know Tony and his stories, priceless as is the plant.

 

Lotus corniculatus plenus PRICE 1@ $6.50

As many of you probably know, Punnett likes pea flowers, if they happen to be yellow so much the better (we forgive him this minor character flaw, normally he has excellent taste in plants). This thing has double yellow pea flowers although it tends to be somewhat shy flowering, we accidentally trashed our entire stock last year but Dick brought more.

 

Luzula 'Ruby Stilleto .. PRICE 1@ $12.00

A shade lover with ruby tinted grass like foliage particularly in the spring; this is an excellent addition to your shade garden and a good contrast with broad foliaged plants.

 

Lychnis chalcedonica Red Cross PRICE 1@ $6.50

What can you say about Red Cross, it’s true they are bloodsuckers but at least they don’t use their vehicles to transport weapons like the Red Crescent.

 

Lychnis miqueliana ........... PRICE 1@ $6.50

Insanely popular, someone featured this in a magazine article a few years back and we have been selling out every since, huge orange flower on fairly compact plants it tends to go summer dormant if stressed.

 

Lychnis wilfordii ................ PRICE 1@ $6.50

Native to Eastern Asia, Japan and Korea, it has large deep red lacinated flowers

 

Lychnis x haageana 'Molten Lava' PRICE 1@ $6.50

A complex hybrid involving fulgens, sieboldii and chalcedonica with abundant orangish red flowers produced for months

 

Lycoris radiata v.pumila PRICE 1@ $15.00

These date from a Waddick collection in China, a hardy dwarf form with exceptional spidery red flowers, unbelievable looking but slow to multiply.

 

Lysimachia ciliata v. PURPUREA PRICE 1@ $12.00

Deep purple leaves and stems; yellow flowers in the leaf axils provide striking contrast. Runs a bit, but is pretty enough to be forgiven.

 

Lysimachia CLETHROIDES PRICE 1@ $8.00

Goose Neck Loosestrife is an elegant upright plant with racemes of white flowers that arch in a graceful curve. Flower arrangers love them. I would rate them as one of the very best cut flowers, runners but not too weedy or invasive on drier sites.

 

Lysimachia japonica minutissima PRICE 1@ $6.50

a very dwarf and reduced Creeping Jenny with yellow stars over tight mounds, this is choice enough for a trough, forming lovely cushions.

 

Lysimachia mauritiana ... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A tender species with racemes of white flowers, I had ephemerum, which was also supposed to be tender in the garden for years.

 

Lysimachia nummularia aurea PRICE 1@ $6.50

A fast growing gold leafed groundcover, the green version is a weed but the gold is ok.

 

Lysimachia punctata ....... PRICE 1@ $6.50

A large perennial native to Europe that thrives in a moist spot, 1.5m stems bear multiple whorls of 1” yellow flowers, it is tolerant of seasonal flooding and when planted en masse puts on quite a show.

 

LYSIMACHIA PUNCTATA 'ALEXANDER' PRICE 1@ $6.50

'Alexander' has great variegation, Punnett was captivated, and even with yellow flowers, punctata needs a lot of added pizzazz to win a place in Dicks garden, which it did. Our plants were self-grooming, after flowering something munched them to the ground, no fall cleanup required. Apparently we weren’t the only ones with an eye for something new. No harm done a week later we had a nice flush of new neatly emargined basal foliage.
